By Ahmed Shawky Last updated May 11, 2021

HVAC/PLUMBING VOLUME 8 OF THE REHAB GUIDE one of nine guidebooks to inform the design and construction industry about state-of-the-art materials and innovative practices in housing rehabilitation. The Rehab Guide series focuses on building technologies, materials, components, and techniques.

1: Foundations
2: Exterior Walls
3: Roofs
4: Windows and Doors
5: Partitions, Ceilings, Floors, and Stairs
6: Kitchens and Baths
7: Electrical/Electronics

9: Site Work

This series of guidebooks has been produced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
to keep the design and construction industry abreast of innovations and state-of-the-art practices in home
rehabilitation. As is too often the case, innovative techniques, materials, technologies, and products are
slow to make their way into accepted practice. It is evident that such innovations will not advance unless
the industry is made aware of them and they are tested. The Rehab Guide is intended to accelerate this
process by informing builders, architects, engineers, and other housing rehabilitation professionals about
such innovations and state-of-the-art practices

Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems that are properly operating and appropriate for
the home are critical for the comfort and safety of the home occupants. Richard Trethewey of “This Old
House” states that the home’s HVAC systems and plumbing set the foundation on which the family’s physical comfort and health depend. Their economic well-being is not only affected by the initial purchase
price, but, perhaps more importantly, by the cost of operating and maintaining the systems.What constitutes an HVAC system is a function of the home, the climate, and the occupants. It is
safe to say that all homes have a heating system of some kind, but it is only over the last 20 years that summer air conditioning beyond opening windows became prominent.
